My difficult child Major hasn't played organized sports for years because he wasn't able to handle it. He has a natural talent for football and is very athletic so we are attempting to put him into Pop Warner this year and it has gone better then I had hoped.
The amount of exercise has been very helpful but (isn't there always a but) his stress levels are increasing. Lately he has been trying to find excuses to not go to practice and exploding in the car when it is over. He has done amazingly well at practice. His coach has a son with ADHD on the team and thinks that is all Major has as well, but he has been very good with Major.
Anyway, today is Major's first game and the pressure is intense within him. I so want him to experience success with this season so any good thoughts would be welcomed. He is a tough kid to be sure, but I am seeing growth within him. I just won't post about the stealing...ugggh.
